THE CITY'S5 GROWTH
AS SHOWN DY THE SCHOOL cENsus
An Increase OF Sixteen Hundred In one
Year shown by m Enumeration taken
under Unfavorabls circumstances.
Every Ward Growing-The Youth.

The enumcrators appointed by the city
Board Of Education TO take the annual
school census have completed their work,
and yesterday the last Of the three reports
WAS filed with Clerk Hall, OF tho Board OF
Education. William Young made the
enumeration in the First, Second and Sew.
enth wards, W. T. Hartman In the Third,
Fourth and Fifth, and John r. Pipes In
the Sixth and Eighth. The reports show
total population Of 81 ,5?7, as against
20,027 in 1887, m increase OF 900 in one
year, which, II the city's growth Ia main.
tanned in the same ratio until the decen.
NAL census by the United States Govern.
ment in 1890. will give Wheeling mum.
Der Of inhabitants somewhat in excess Of
$4,000. There Is no reason to believe that
the increase OF population In tho next
three years will fall short OF the ratio Of
increase In tho past year. On the con.
trary all the indications point to an In.
creased rate Of growth In the immediate
future, and those sanguine citizens who
have predicted population OF 10000 for
the Nail City by 1890 will not be found
very wide OF the true marks when the re-
turns are In.
A GRAIN or ALLOWANCE.
Tho isthRt the annual school census,
while perhaps more exact than the public
has right to expect, is not reliable
criterion OF the city's population. There
is no reflection on the enumerators in this
statement. circumstances entirely be.
yond their control uniavorably affect their
inquiries.
In the first place, It has generally been
the policy to divide the city in different
districts each year, and usually the
enumerators are men without experience.
It Is u self evident proposition that m
enumeratOr familiar with his district and
his work would make more thorough
research.
In the second place the census Is re.
CURED to be taken ct time OF year when
the glass houses and iron mills are custo
marily shut down, and the workmen,
large numbers oil whom are single men
living in boarding houses, are out Of town
and their names are not included in the
returns. Many families are also away FOL
the summer and their houses closed, and
the number OF people in the households IL
such cases has to be gotten at from neigh
bora.
A third fact which operates against the
enumerator is that the people in many in.
stances think any man who inquiries into
tho number OF people in family is ar
assessor OF taxes or water rent, and tina,
the larger family they report the larger
their tax bills will be. This reduces the
apparent population materially.
The work seems to have bsen done this
year with more than average thorough.
ness and intelligence. The results are
given below:

A Man of Misfortune.
From the indianapolis Journal

From the Indianapolis journal
Emanuel Rosen barger, an aged ana
resnected farmer OF Harrison County,
died Yesterday of cancer, after n long
and most intense suffering. Mr.. Ro-
senbarger has been one of the most un-
fortunate men In this country. About
twenty wears ago he became almost
totally deaf, so much SO that 1t was
painful to try to converse with him.
A few years later he had his right arm
ground off in q molasses factory OF
which he was the owner. About seven
teen years ago a cancer made It's @p-
pearance on his face, and steadily grew
worse until it ate almost his whole
face away. For the last three year 8
he has been bliod, his eyes both beng
destroyed, and The lower part OF his
skull left bare. About the only thing
he possessed which resembled q human
face was his chin, his nose, cheeks and
upper lip all being eaten away by the
cancer. During all these misfortunes
he never complained. He was an
honorable man, and the father OF four
teen children For the last two years
it was necessary for his family to keep
him in the cellar during the summer
months, and to keep constant watch
over him. Blind, deaf and speeches.,
his wants could be known only by
signals which he could make with his
only hand.

In Bleak Alaska.
From the San Francisco Examiner.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
When Secretary Seward bought
Alaska from Russia he added to the
United States q territory OF much
larger area than the states of New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois,
Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin and Mis-
souri, together, and nearly nine times
larger than England and Wales. The
territory stretches out so far to the
westward that Sitka, its capital, is
only half way from New York City to
the most western Alaskan island.
Many of the details of the formation
of Alaska read like quotations from
fairy tales. 1t has a volcano 5000
feet high. The Yukon river is at some
points from 15 to 20 miles wide, it's
entire length is 1000 miles and it
empties with such a volume into the
sea that the ocean is said to be fresh
water for ten miles out. The tempera-
tnre does at times fall as low as %
degrees below zero, but as a rule it is
mild, on account of sort OF gulf
stream known as the Japanese current.
1t was Peter the Great who set on foot
the expedition which finally discovered
Alaska. It was in 1925 that explor-
ers set out to cross Siberia toward the
east, and one OF their leaders was
Behring, p Dane, who had been long in
the Russian service He did not land
in Alaska till seventeen years later,
and died on one of the islands off tn
shore, which bears his name and where
his body now lies. Spain, England,
and France also sent out exploring
expeditions, and Russia established
| trading company, which sold the furs
of the region. But in 1867 Secretary
Seward effected g. purchase of Alaska
for the United States, which paid
Russia $7,2OO,OOO; and q little more
as g. civil and judicial district. At
present the chief industries are carried
on by the fishery and seal fur compa.
MES. In 1880 the catch Of salmon
was 5000 cases; in 1888, $4,000
| cases, and in 1885, $4,000, at about
$5 B. case. The magnitude OF the fur
operations may be seen fro m the fact
that between 1871 and 1888 about
$4,000, 900 was paid by the company
to the United States government as
rent and tax. There are also mines of
coal, lead, copper, silver, and gold, and
q vast growth of fine spruce and cedar,
which will some day prove of great
value to the people of the United
States. Lieut.. Schwatka has twice
been on expeditions to the great nOrth-
west territory, and is now sending
home reports of his discoveries, which
are full of interest. It appears to be
clear now that Secretary Seward acted
wisely when he egotiated the purchase
from Russia.

POLITICAL Temperance Parties.

1t would be the most remarkable thing
in the history of the world if the little
harmless Moxie Nerve Food plant should
substitute the use of stimulants and take
the wind out of the sails of the political
temperance parties. There is the best Of
authority for the statement that the
drinker is better satisfied with it, and the
liquor dealer has to keep it or lose his
custom. 1t is a powerful factor that they
can make just as much money on it, and
pay no license. Also, the women and
churches back it to the utmost. All the
dealers say it's sale is enormous. The
company putting it on the market offer the
chemists $4,000 if they can find anything
in it more deleterious than common bitter
root and Tintergreen. We thank God it

stoves, and enable you to keep easy
